NOVA's Co-Chairs

Carmela Ormando and Markie Harwood are NOVA's co-chairs for the coming year.  Below are the pledges made by the chairs and by the community.
Photos include giving of the cross as symbol of their service and laying on of hands by the community.  After the liturgy we continued our peace talk series with Fr. Drew Christiansen.

Pledge of the Community to the Co-Chairs  
We pledge ourselves to be your friends
To share with you our own understanding of who Jesus is
To break bread and share the common cup with you
To help you discern the Spirit at work among us and within you
To give you our full attention when you speak
To share your laughter and tears
To support you with our love and prayers
To work with you to be a holy people mindful of the presence of God in all creation. 

  Pledge of the Co-Chairs to the Community  
With God as our helper and you as our friends, we commit ourselves to you 
  To make this journey together
To share the community’s joys and sorrows
To explore with you the community’s gifts and find ways to share them
To be open to God’s spirit working within all of us
To work with you to be a holy people mindful of the presence of God in all creation.
